OAK HILL – Ever want to jump off into the New River Gorge and fly safely to the bottom? If you’re crazy enough, now you have the chance.

Get your creative juices flowing because you can win a chance to fall 876 feet on Bridge Day, and help your favorite charity earn $1,000. Just make a 3 minute video explaining why you want to win and why you're crazy enough to jump for a donation.

Post your video to the Bridge Day Facebook page, and vote starting September 3.

This is the second year for this contest on the 35th anniversary of Bridge Day.

“Obviously you want to have something that's very creative and tugs at people's hearts so they'll vote for you,” says Bridge Day chair Cindy Dragan.

“You will hook on to your professional and then I can't even imagine what it's like when he goes, ‘Ok, we're going’ And you step off.”
